Kenzo Ramen - Mississauga

I told my boyfriend that I was craving for some Ramen and he bought me here. We had the takoyaki and the king of kings ramen. Omg! The taste was so awesome. you can always ask the server if you really wanted a very milder spice coz i'm trying to avoid too much spice. Very fast and great tasting broth. Way better that the last Ramen place i've been to in Toronto.

My first visit to this location. Decided to come in between lunch and dinner to avoid any possible crowds. The tables-for-two are small and very close to one another in a relatively small restaurant. Many years ago, this location was a coffee shop.Good service. Polite, pleasant servers. Open kitchen.$10.95 Netsu Ramen comes in the typical, large, conical bowl. Fresh vegetables garnish the noodles in a flavourful, spicy broth. The crumbled pork, however, was underproportioned, relative to the dish size. The menu claims "loads of vegetables"...again would prefer more. The abundance of noodles overwhelms the dish...too many carbs...not enough protein and veg.This ramen dish is not for me.

Food presented well. Tasted ok, if anything on the salty and small size, already using smaller hot plates and bowls and then not having them brimming was surprising. Have tasted better soup bases elsewhere. Seems popular as empty tables did begin to fill whilst we ate. Atmosphere is clean and casual dining. Location is easy to get to and we had no problems finding parking.The service is quite good, so this likely helps in customers returning. Not enough though for me, unless others crave ramen. Various servers came to ask to take our orders when we were not ready. A little over-keen.

As the title says, this place definitely has the best Ramen anywhere nearby. Coming from Oakville the trip is worth it every time. I would definitely recommend this place. Just be aware of a wait if you are coming at a popular time and may have to wait but again, it is all worth the wait and the distant travel.

Now there isn't much choice if you want ramen and you live northwest of Mississauga. In the past I have saved my craving for ramen for when I am in Toronto, where there are many good restaurants to choose from.Kenzo on Burnhamthorpe is a good compromise. It is not as good as the best of the downtown ramen places but it is a whole lot closer and honestly the distance to Toronto is not worth it.I have tried a few places in Mississauga and this is the best I have had. The service was fast and friendly, and the food is made on premises. Often places try to pass off pre-made noodles but here they are freshly made.I had the Black-Tonkotsu which is a Hakata style pork bone soup ramen with black garlic sauce. Very good. And on the side I tried Takoyaki, baked octopus balls filled with octopus, green onion, cheese and shrimp flavouring, on the advice of my daughter, interesting and I would order them again.I will definitely return and have no reservation in recommending this place to friends.
